Zusammenfassung
Fungal enzymes are considered attractive biocatalysts because of their versatility and ability to catalyse multiple oxidation reactions. Their use in biotechnological ields has been widely explored in recent years, demonstrating that they can offer different advantages compared to conventional technologies. However, in view of their application, it is necessary to advance in the improvement of enzyme production. The present PhD Thesis focuses on the production of ligninolytic enzymes by valorisation of different agro-industrial wastes. The results obtained show the importance of integrating waste streams as main substrates for fungal fermentation media and the great potential of enzyme cocktails in environmental biotechnology processes.
